How do I send an HTML Form in an Email .. not just MAILTO

Question

> 2021 Answer = Easy Way using GMail (5 Mins)

We had a similar challenge to solve yesterday, and we solved it using a Google Apps Script!

Send Email From an HTML Form Without a Backend (Server) via Google!

The solution takes 5 mins to implement and I’ve documented with step-by-step instructions: https://github.com/nelsonic/html-form-send-email-via-google-script-without-server

Brief Overview

A. Using the sample script, deploy a Google App Script

Deploy the sample script as a Google Spreadsheet APP Script:
google-script-just-email.js

3-script-editor-showing-script

remember to set the TO_ADDRESS in the script to where ever you want the emails to be sent.
and copy the APP URL so you can use it in the next step when you publish the script.

B. Create your HTML Form and Set the `action` to the App URL

Using the sample html file:
index.html
create a basic form.

7-html-form

remember to paste your APP URL into the form action in the HTML form.

C. Test the HTML Form in your Browser

Open the HTML Form in your Browser, Input some data & submit it!

html form

Submit the form. You should see a confirmation that it was sent:
form sent

Open the inbox for the email address you set (above)

email received

Done.

Everything about this is customisable, you can easily
style/theme the form with your favourite CSS Library
and Store the submitted data in a Google Spreadsheet
for quick analysis.
